What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

NOTE: Hey, Floridians! John and I will be at the Orlando Public Library Saturday, Dec. 12th, at 2PM. Here's your chance to stock up on signed copies of Cake Wrecks, aka "the perfect stocking stuffer." ;) Go here for details, and to RSVP.

OMG!! Mushroom Cloud is not a turkey at all! It's Lady Tottington from "Wallace and Gromit and the Curse of the Were-Rabbit!" They forgot her teeth. Or maybe they were aiming for a clown or Gumby in a wig, but they GOT Lady T!

Our Lady of Guadalupe--I can totally see that, folks! Especially with the colors.

btw, does it bother anybody else that these turkeys have real foot issues? Burning man has wheels, snuffy has appendages sticking out straight from his torso, bagel face has a really WIDE stance, intestinal fortitude has no feet, and Cthulhu/Guadalupe is totally levitating. The feet aren't attached at all!

WV: fortness. the kind of strength you need to look at these retch-inducing wrecks.

Hi, my boss sent me your web page today, and I did laugh out loud at some of the pictures. But I'm not sure I'm getting the joke. The only BAD cake is one I can't eat, and I wouldn't have a problem eating any of those turkey cakes. Now the ones with the plastic and the sticks might pose a bit of a problem.
